Other trade agreements would not be affected at all by our withdrawing from the ECHR.
The economic impact of our leaving the EU has not been the disaster that remainers had predicted, and the EU is desperate to try to prove otherwise, given that some countries are considering leaving the EU. Poland, for example, is facing daily fines for continuing to prevent uncontrolled immigration into the country. If the EU can persuade those countries that the disadvatages of doing so outweigh the advantages, it will make them think twice.

Leaving the EHCR is a breach of the Good Friday agreement so expect trade deals to become invalid if this happens.
Think what we could do with that extra 4% of GDP? Tax cut? Increased spending on the NHS? Cheaper fuel prices?
Think how many fewer hotels would be needed without the Brexit-led unlawful immigration.
And Brexiters have been predicting the Netherlands, Poland and.Ireland leaving for years. Ain't gonna happen.
